The International Criminal Court has ordered its prosecutor to reopen a criminal investigation into Israel’s attack on an aid flotilla in 2010.
The decision allows prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to ultimately bring to court Israeli soldiers and officials over the attack on Turkish ship Mavi Marmara. ICC rejected a similar request back in 2014. It says the prosecutor should have considered that the incident was a systematic attempt to kill civilians. Ten pro-Palestinian Turkish activists were killed during the attack on the Gaza –bound aid ship. The incident triggered international condemnation against Israel. Rights groups have frequently called for Israel to be tried over the incident.
